Nikora jumped from her hiding place among the statutes that lined the roof of the church, her cold grey eyes locked on the rooftop below landing with a roll. She sat there smirking thinking about her training and how she once feared heights. Slowly standing up as she looked around for a door or way into the building, her eyes found the outline of a trap door recessed into the roof. Coming next to it she knelt down and laid her right hand on the door. Closing her eyes in concentration her hand began to glow a soft blue and in her mind she could see the mechanism that made up the lock. With a smile forming on her soft lips she started to manipulate the pins in the lock. Easier than making a cocktail, she thought while moving her hand to the door’s handle and pulling up to reveal a ladder leading into darkness. Once she got to the bottom of the ladder she found herself in a closet.
Opening the door revealed a bedroom. In the middle of the room was a large bed with a few pillows tossed about on it. Directly opposite from the bed was a dresser with a small jewelry box along with a picture on top. Quickly looking around she formed a fist with her right, causing it to glow faintly, it was enough for her to see but not enough to light up the whole room. She moved to the dresser and opened the jewelry box revealing a number of rings and earrings. She quickly grabbed the box and dumped it into the bag that hung at her side. She then looked around wondering if there was more to take. Well this was a bust, oh well, she thought as she headed back into the closet and out the trapdoor. On the roof again, she looked around to see which neighboring roof would be easiest to get to. Nikora decided to go the building on her left once she saw that she would be able to climb down a drain to the alley below.
The next morning, Nikora woke up looking around her own bedroom. A sad smile formed on her lips as she looked over at a picture of her parents on her nightstand. As she moved out of her bed, she looked over at the small bag on the chair that held the items from her late night excursion. She then moved to the bathroom, without looking at the mirror she stepped into the shower and turned it on.
Two hours later, she stepped out of her house into the morning light. Walking up the street towards the red light district she wondered how her parents would feel about her chosen path. At least I didn’t end up on my back she thought as she passed a brothel. Finding “Finnegan’s Finds”, she walked causing a bell above the door to ding. The balding man behind the counter looked up from the tray of rocks and smiled seeing who it was.
“Good morning Nikora, and what do you have for me today?” He said moving the tray under the counter.
“A few rings and earrings Finn. “ She answered dumping the objects out of the bag on the counter.
“How much are you expecting?” He asked while sorting the items.
So, three weeks and 5 games into playing Squee, the Immortal as my commander and I have begun playing archenemy magic with him lol. I am going to have to shift and add a bunch of control to my build because my opponents are literally training at my face when I pull him out.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
My friend has a had a casual Izzet coinflip deck for years. With Battlebond right around the corner he asked if he could proxy the new izzet partners as his commander. Very first game with the partners at the helm he gets a one shot kill with a 48/48 Okaun, Eye of Chaos. Good times.

I had a casual 60 card coinflip deck years ago. Karplusan Minotaur isn't a particularly good card, but it's a very entertaining one.
There were some really good new albums that dropped today. I've had the Neko Case's Hell-On more or less on loop all day and there are at least two more that I could probably do that with.

*wonders if anyone read what he has so far on his story*
I did, but I didn't know what it was or whether there was context. That's probably a compliment, that I didn't know if it was from something or not.
My bad, i edited my post to say that it's a nonmtg related story i'm working on..with that in mind what did you think?
I enjoyed it. It reminds me of 'Lies of Locke Lamora', but in an enjoyable way that I didn't really get from Lies. It's written really vibrantly, it flows well, and barring a few punctuation and grammar mistakes is quite well written.
Are you a publishing author? Or is this just for fun?

I published a couple of short stories a few years ago via kindle direct publishing, but right now it's just for something to do when the mood strikes.

Good for you! It’s well written, I’d be interested in reading more if there’s more.
One of my friends really got into 40k. I just see another super expensive hobby. I don't think I would get into it and still play magic, its just too dang expensive to do both.

Says the married homeowner contemplating kids. You're in for a world of hurt on your wallet.

The upside being that I already have a magic collection and I own most of the reserve list cards I am ever going to own (especially with hiking rates). Realistically my expense for commander is just new cards and when I make new decks. The actual cost to keep decks up to date as new content comes out is actually fairly low. I build a lot of decks but to be honest that is not something I HAVE to do lol.
Also, if I have my way I will soon not be a home owner. Currently I have a contingent sale on it.

Well.... once my house is sold I live in a church parsonage that my wife's job provides for us. They pay for internet, cable, and utilities as well so the actual expense that we pay is fairly low once I am not literally paying for a house that has been empty half a year.
Really once I sell my house and pay off some loans my overall expense will be low until kids.

Draft my Peasant Cube.
I will allow it if you rejoin mods and deal with each of the reports yourself. Upper staff may "deal with you" but I won't care
